We’ve compiled our top ten Twitter stories of the week, which includes a study which reveals what customers dislike the most from brands they follow on social media, the latest Twitter user demographic statistics, a social media image size guide, a look at how social media is changing customer service and a brief history of social advertising.
A Twitter chat is a fantastic way for brands to build a solid relationship with their audience. It’s typically an hour-long discussion via Twitter about a topic that is relevant to both the chat host and participants– anything from what it’s like to go to university for the first time to a new album from a celebrity rap artist.
But it’s not enough to choose a topic and time and let loose on Twitter. A great chat takes planning, organization and – possibly the most important – follow-up.
I’ve been an active participant in a number of Twitter chats, and I’ve noticed that some things work… and some things flop. Here are ten ways to make sure your next Twitter chat is one that works!

When you’re considering a college placement, what’s the most important “must have” on your list?
A recent study of 7,000 high school students revealed that students are increasingly choosing colleges with social media clout, which means that the institutions that are managing their social presence on platforms such as Twitter and Facebook better than their rivals have an exponentially greater chance of attracting the highest quality of applicants.
In partnership with Datalogix (DLX), a company that specializes in measuring the offline impact of online ads, Twitter has announced a new measurement called “offline sales impact” to quantify the effect that tweets have on offline sales for consumer packaged goods (CPG) businesses in the U.S.
The motivation behind the roll-out is the fact that more than 94% of retail activity still happens in the physical world, and retailers need to be able to determine what effect, if any, their Twitter advertising has on those real-world sales.
